China Stocks Slide to Over 2-Month Low
The Shanghai Composite lost 1.5% to 3,602 on Friday, while the Shenzhen Component slid 2.1% to 11,118, with both indexes hitting their lowest levels in more than two months as steep losses in semiconductor and technology stocks weighed on the market. The selloff tracked broader losses across Asian markets following overnight declines on Wall Street, weighed down by mounting concerns over the sustainability of AI spending and its potential returns. The downturn is putting China’s market-support efforts to the test, as state-backed buying proves insufficient to stem the slide, momentum deteriorates, and investors remain reluctant to step in based on valuations alone. Notable laggards included Cambricon Technologies (-3.7%), SMIC (-2.9%), Zhongji Innolight (-3.6%), Eoptolink Technology (-6.1%) and NAURA Technology (-1.9%). Over the week, both indexes are set to post sharp losses.

China Stocks Track Asian Peers Lower
The Shanghai Composite fell 1.5% to close at 3,658 on Thursday, while the Shenzhen Component dropped 3% to a more than two-month low of 11,357, tracking broader Asian market losses as the technology-led rally lost momentum. The rally had been supported by strong earnings and renewed optimism surrounding artificial intelligence, but mixed results from US technology companies have raised doubts about the sustainability of this week’s rebound in the sector. Domestically, state-backed purchases have increasingly shifted toward technology and growth stocks, reflecting Beijing’s efforts to strengthen domestic technological capabilities and support equity-market financing. Technology stocks led the declines, particularly Zhongji Innolight (-8.8%), Eoptolink Technology (-12.3%) and Victory Giant Technology (-5.3%). Other decliners included China Merchants Bank (-1.1%), Foxconn Industrial Internet (-3.6%) and Ping An Insurance (-0.5%).
